La Calabria, un vero e proprio gioiello del Sud Italia, è una regione che merita di essere scoperta e apprezzata. Spesso sottovalutata, questa terra promette un viaggio ricco di bellezza, storia e cultura. Affacciata sulle acque cristalline del Mar Tirreno e dello Ionio, la Calabria offre paesaggi affascinanti e diversificati: borghi pittoreschi, spiagge incontaminate, splendide riserve naturali e testimonianze storiche di grande rilievo. Il tutto arricchito da una cultura gastronomica unica e autentica. Scopriamo insieme cosa vedere in Calabria.
Still unknown to many, the villages of Calabria are a treasure to be discovered. One of the most renowned is Tropea, called the 'Pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea'. Situated on a cliff, the village offers a breathtaking view of the sea and its colourful houses add a touch of charm to the panorama. Don't miss a visit to the Church of Santa Maria dell'Isola, an authentic symbol of Tropea.
Another little gem is Pizzo Calabro, known for the castle where Joachim Murat was shot, but also for gastronomic delights such as truffles, a delicious ice cream filled with chocolate.
La Calabria è un paradiso per gli amanti del mare: qui troverai alcune delle spiagge più belle e incontaminate d’Italia. La spiaggia di Tropea, quella di Capo Vaticano con la suggestiva spiaggia di Grotticelle, e la spiaggia di Scilla nella Costa Viola, che offre una vista spettacolare sullo Stretto di Messina, sono solo alcune delle gemme costiere da non perdere.
Not only sea: Calabria is also a region of mountains and protected areas, perfect for trekking and wildlife lovers. The Aspromonte National Park, with its 65,000 hectares, and the Pollino National Park, the largest protected area in Italy, are just some of the destinations to explore.
The region of Calabria encapsulates thousands of years of history and evidence of this history is still visible and well preserved today. In Reggio Calabria, the Museo Nazionale della Magna Grecia houses the Bronzi di Riace, two extraordinary statues dating back to the 5th century BC. Also not to be missed is Sibari, one of the most important archaeological sites in southern Italy, and the Aragonese Castle, symbol of the city of Reggio Calabria.
Calabrian gastronomy is rich and varied, with unique and authentic flavours. You must try 'nduja, a spicy salami typical of Spilinga, soppressata and caciocavallo silano DOP. Calabria is also famous for its olive oil and wines, such as Cirò. Finally, there is the liquorice from Rossano, a real treasure of this region.
La Calabria è una terra dalle mille facce e dalle mille sorprese. Una regione in cui storia, arte, tradizioni e paesaggi mozzafiato si fondono in un mix davvero unico. Se state cercando una destinazione autentica, fuori dai consueti percorsi turistici, scegliete la Calabria: non rimarrete delusi.
